Today, whenever I try to post or make a new topic, the box that I type the content in is extremely tiny, even though it is normally fairly large.

Not only that, but I am also incapable of accessing the different fonts, emoticons, or any of the normal features I can use. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

You mean that none of the buttons appear? From my experience, that happens when you already have the post editor opened in another tab or window. Closing that one should fix the problem (or, if you cannot find it in your jungle of tabs, simply restart the browser ).

Are you working from your computer?
If you aren't, don't worry, that's natural, but if you are it's a glitch which should be resolved if you restart your computer (I've had the same problem, and it works for me).

I hope this helps!

I've had a similar problem where done of the buttons appeared, but simply restarting the browser and sometimes even just reloading the page will fix it.

What type of computer are you using?

I'm not sure how helpful it will be, but I'll throw this out there anyway.

See the button that I've circled? It's possible that you clicked it, turning off all of the handy editing tools. Clicking it again would turn them back on.

Like I said, probably not going to be the answer...

If you're saying what I think you are, then I've also encountered this problem -- try clearing your cache, as that has always worked for me.

I just tried clicking it, and the only think it does (at least on my computer with Safari as the browser) just fades all the controls to grey, signifying that you can't click them. Clicking the switch again un-greys them.

Like Velox (now Cerberus) said, try emptying your cache. It seems to be a general fix-all (at least in most cases) when things aren't loading on BZP.

That's the switch to plain-text editing mode, which allows you to enter BBCode manually to change formatting. It's not just for decoration.

He did say he was "incapable of accessing" them, so it seemed vague enough to me to be worth a shot. Velox is probably right, though.

I'm not sure what I did, but everything is working normally now. The content box and buttons are working again, so I guess it must have just been a temporary glitch or something.

Thanks for all of the suggestions, though. Y'all are really helpful .
